The Canadian Press on the Edmunds
Bill.

The Toronto GlobC declares that the
game Of the United States Senate, is "thc
old one of alarming Great Britain into
bulldozing Canada
The MdU says "a retaliatory meas
ure has been passed 10y the United States.
and rs result poor Canada is to suffer all
the frowns of the republic if she persists
in enforcing hsr treaty rights" and adds
1.-THE Canadian government has not in a
single instance refused any fair rights of
hospitality" The Montreal gazette, the
official organ of the Dominion govern
ment, is more moderate in the tone of it's
comments than some of the other Cana
dian journals: 1t says:
1t is true that there have been denied
to American fishing vessels the CONNIE"
cial privileges extended to other vessels
in Canadian ports, that is to say, the privi-
lege to land cargo, Pun chase supplies, etc
but that exclusion is no more straining
Of the treaty governing the rights of Can
ada than Is the prohibition of fishing
within three miles of the shore
The Americans, too, must recognize that
no interference whatever with the opera
tons of United States trading vessels has
been attempted by the Dominion. 1t dis
iurbs in no respect whatever the reciprocal
commercial privileges Of the two countries
in respect of transportation, buying and
selling, bonding etc. If, instead of re.
sorting to cOercive measures, the United
states Congress would consent to arbitra-
ton, it would adopt the manller and more
dgnified course.
If the Dominion government had pro
posed arbitration before, perhaps the
would have been adopted by
this country What the Dominion has been
all along insisting on was commission to
arrange a reciprocity treaty. OF course, ANY
irrecoucllahlr difference of opinion in re-
gard to the Interpretation of the treaty of
ISIS might very well be settled by arbitra-
ton. This country is asking for nothing
but its rights and for such courtesies as it
extends to Canadian vessels and citizens.

CoNGREGATIONALIS EAST AND
WEST


TO the EditOr Of the Christian Union:
1t was said at Des Moines that this
(Andover) heresy has not reached the
West; :" that 1.-THE East is honey -combed
with infldelity" while a ID. d. on the
prudential committee lately remarked
that "our Congregational churches in the
East are full of Universalism and Uni.
tarianism." The following figures in this
connection are instructive "By their
fruit We shall know them During the
four years from 1888 to 1856, inclusive
New England has contributed 60 per cent
of the total receipts of the American board
lnot including the two great New Eng
land legacies), while "the West" wiz
Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, Kan
sas Nebraska, Colorado, Oregon, Califor-
ma ana NeVade) has given Is per cent
Properly speaking, all New England lega-
cies should be included in the comparison
but, leaving aside the two above mention
ed as exceptional, and taking into &C
count only such sums as have been an
nually appropriated therefrom during the
four years in question, the New England
contributions reach seventy-three per
cent, as against sixteen per cent for the
above fourteen States.
It is noticeable fact also that the only
'divisive" language at Des Moipes
emanated from the conservative wing.
Let them organize their own Board" is
the cry of divine of the great
State of Illinois, State whose contribu-
tons for the above four years are less than
five per cent, as against thirty per cent
for Massachusetts mot including the ap-
preparations from the SWEET and Otis
legaciesl That the animus which is
exhibited by the assailants of Andover
does not control the other wing is seen in
the appeal of committee of the most
liberal church of the East. wherein its
members are urged to keep their subscrip-
tons up to the level of the past Ii is
probably true that few great questions
have been argued in finer spirit than
that exhibited at Des MONIES. 1t Is equally
true that the public has not failed to see

There are now 100 girls employed in the
shirt factory OF Miller, Hall X Hart well
at Fair Haven. The firm have recently
bought Il l6-horse power engine, which
Will furnish power for the machines and
heat for the rooms. More machines are
being put in and it is hoped to have $50
girls at work when spring opens
Judge j. X. Darling of Gruton has about
100000 feet of logs in his mill and will

senator Morrllrs Memory


There is no man in public life to-day
who has more wonderful memory for
facts, figures, faces and names than Sen
ator Morrill,. General Banks. Mr.. Blaine
and Governor Long are all men who ha, e
established regulations for retentive
memories, but none of them excel the
Nermont senator. Most of his speeches
upon finance and the tariff are carefully
prepared and he generally reads them
from the manuscript, but it is of no unus-
ual occurrence to see him plunge into a
discussion upon his favOrite topics and
quote with eXactness long series of figures
without the slightest reference to memo
randa. His recollection Of names and
faces is equally surprising. During the
wara gentleman called upon him and
asked him to use his Influence so that he
could get pass through the lines of the
Army OF the Potomac. He was on his
way South TO secure the remains Of his
brother who had been killed in battle
The senator got the pass for him, and
never heard from him afterward, A few
days ago man walked into Mornll's
committee room. and going up to the
senator and extending his hand, said, 81
guess you don't remember me- "Oh,
yes, do" promptly replied the senator,
you are Mr.. Could" Then he went on
and told him about the o occurrence, al
though it happened "A years ago, and the
two had never met nor communicated
with each other since.

TO the Editor OF the Free Press:

in reply to your comments on my letter
Of November 49, but / feel impelled to
protest against the attempt to make ii ap
pear that it is only a committee of a cor
poration" and not the Congregational
churches that have been enforcing what
are enormously called "new aud stringent
tests" on missionary candidates. what.
ever one might have said before the Des
Moines meeting, no one can now deny
that the course of the committee has been
strongly endorsed by those who may fair
ly be regarded as representatives of the
churches there. Therefore it may be said
that the committee is now under definite
instructions from the churches to continue
It's previous policy, the members of the
committee being elected with reference TO
that policy. Certainly all must nUree
that the committee has no choice but to
obey instructions. And who ever criti.
clses the policy now, criticises not simply
the committee but also the churches thnt
are backing the committee.

difficult questions, whether personal prac-

The Times, OF this city, Is pretty good
democratic authority on Texas democ-
racy. The Times hould Judge correct
ly and speak truthfully concerning the
party for which 1t essays to utter a
voice. Its utterances concerning the
character of the democrats elected by
democratic votes TO seats In the state
legislature, carry great weight with re-
publican journals. Its authoritative
utteranoes are only equalled by its great
candor, when it says: "If the good
people Of Austin desire to benefit the
common wealth by shutting of tempta-
ton from the susceptible lawmakers,
they must close the saloons day and
night through the whole week, lay an
embargo on the drug stores and pro-
hIbit the importation Of the jugs" This
opinion of the bibulous character OF the
democratic legislature elect is unim-
p.achable. being from the only simon
pure democratic journal in south western
Texas. Had republican journal as
serted this, II would have been treason
to the democracy. Coming from the
T mes it must be accepted as democratic
